This essential component is designed to ensure that only clean, filtered fuel reaches your engine's Vapour Separator Tank (VST), preventing the ingress of debris and contaminants that can cause misfires, reduced power, and long-term engine damage. The integrated gasket provides a secure, leak-free seal, crucial for maintaining proper fuel pressure and preventing fuel vapor loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: disc; margin: 15px 0; padding-left: 30px;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Filtration\u003c\/strong\u003e: Effectively traps small particles and debris from the fuel, ensuring a clean supply to the VST.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecure Gasketing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Provides a reliable, leak-proof seal, preventing fuel loss and maintaining system integrity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Engine Performance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Contributes to smoother engine operation, improved fuel economy, and consistent power delivery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; line-height: 1.8;\"\u003eThe Vapour Separator Tank (VST) is a critical part of modern fuel injection systems, acting as a buffer to ensure a consistent supply of fuel to the injectors. The VST filter and gasket work in tandem to protect this system. The filter removes impurities before they can enter the VST, while the gasket ensures the VST chamber remains sealed and pressurized correctly. Neglecting these components can lead to a cascade of problems, including clogged injectors, fuel pressure fluctuations, and ultimately, significant engine performance issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 15px; line-height: 1.8;\"\u003eThis VST Filter \u0026amp; Gasket is an indispensable part for owners of compatible marine engines who prioritize reliability and performance. By investing in regular maintenance and using quality replacement parts like this kit, you can extend the life of your engine, avoid costly emergency repairs, and ensure your vessel is always ready for the water. It's a proactive measure that pays dividends in smooth operation and dependable power, especially during demanding boating activities where engine reliability is paramount.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n  \n        \u003csection style=\"margin:20px 0\"\u003e\n            \u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n            \u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n                \u003cthead\u003e\n                    \u003ctr\u003e\n                        \u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:2px solid #333;background-color:#f5f5f5\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n                        \u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:2px solid #333;background-color:#f5f5f5\"\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n                    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n                \u003c\/thead\u003e\n                \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eModel Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e18-79956\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eVST Filter and Gasket Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eApplication\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMarine Vapour Separator Tank (VST)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eVarious Yamaha Outboards (e.g., F115, F150, F200, F225, F250, F300)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMaterial (Filter)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003ePaper\/Synthetic Composite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eMaterial (Gasket)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eRubber\/Elastomer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eFiltration Level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eFine Particle Filtration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003eWeight (approximate)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;border-bottom:1px solid #ddd\"\u003e0.2 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n            \u003c\/table\u003e\n        \u003c\/section\u003e\n        \n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Sierra International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46389672280226,"sku":"DM-183401","price":51.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0696\/3170\/5250\/files\/fs_183401_Web2.jpg?v=1765363490","url":"https:\/\/marinerswarehouse.com\/products\/omc-water-pump-kit-183401","provider":"Mariners Warehouse Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
